RANCHI: Normal life was affected in parts of Jharkhand on Tuesday as BJP workers enforced a state-wide bandh in protest against police action on job aspirants during their march to the state assembly a day ago over alleged irregularities in recruitment examinations. Most schools and business establishments remained closed, while vehicular movement was very low in the state capital Ranchi and several other cities. The BJP described the police action as “atrocities” against students and accused the JMM-led government of using force instead of addressing their grievances. Several protesters claimed they were injured, while Ranchi police claimed 14 policemen suffered injuries during protests. BJP state president Sahu alleged that students had been treated like criminals during the march and claimed that several protesters were injured.
